Those Oilers ticket prices are not worth it. With prices like that, the Oilers better be winning.

^interesting indeed.

Simple supply and demand.

Our season seats are very much affordable at $119 (round 1), 139 (2) and 159 (3) if I recall my pricing. Something like that.

hilman · #**464** Posted **Apr 14, 2017, 5:34 PM**

Same, ours were $135 each for the first row of the upper bowl.

Zack Kassian = bull in a china shop

Black Star · #**466** Posted **Apr 15, 2017, 4:42 AM**

Wholly shite....Pork chop strength.

Black Star · #**467** Posted **Apr 15, 2017, 4:50 AM**

Finally Mcjesus shows his strength.....

Uppers:
Victory! A shutout for Cam! McJesus finds another gear, while Zack, besides showing some wicked Lemmy chops, is finally showing us why he was a top draft pick.

Downers:
The number of penalties is ridiculous, and the officiating has been brutal at times. Hope we don't lose Klef, he's easily been one of their better D-men.

^gotta keep it close for the NHL, hence the penalties

Top goaltending on both sides, Good defensive play overall, although both Nurse and Benning had a couple of bad runaround shifts. McJesus is being blanketed, and it doesn't help matters that Maroon's hands have gone stone cold. The big hitters on the Oilers need to hit more. Jumbo kinda petered after the 1st period, can't help but wonder if he came back too soon.

Had to steal one there and we did.

Next game is huge

Talbot has been unbelievable, back to back shutouts. Jones has been almost as good but perhaps a small chink in his armor as he has allowed several 5 hole goals now. San Jose came out and punished the Oilers in the first period, it didn't look promising for awhile. Turned out to be a pretty good game and the number of hits is out of this world.

SHOFEAR · #**474** Posted **Apr 17, 2017, 8:24 PM**

Talbot has been great, but it isn't like he stole the game. It's not like there was sustained pressure and a d zone breakdown that lead to multishift fire drills. When there was sustained pressure in the oilers zone the sharks were kept to the perimeter and Talbot didn't have to stand on his head.

Rocket252 · #**475** Posted **Apr 18, 2017, 10:32 AM**

Goalies are so important in the playoffs - just look at what happened to Calgary last night.

It's timely stops when your team needs them - that's what wins series and builds confidence in the team.

Go Oilers Go

Great to see

, couldn't happen to a better fan base!! The toxicity on their hockey board is unreal, karma is a b.....

Rocket252 · #**477** Posted **Apr 18, 2017, 5:21 PM**

^ People in glass houses - remember?

We have not won anything yet. It can happen to us as well and did in the past.

Much as I am not a fan of the Flames I can feel their pain.

Black Star · #**478** Posted **Apr 18, 2017, 6:32 PM**

Ha. Down with the Flames.

There is no mercy or prisoners!

s4.audios · #**479** Posted **Apr 18, 2017, 7:04 PM**

As much as I hate the Flames, I really hope somehow the hockey gods allow a battle of Alberta in the next round.

hilman · #**480** Posted **Apr 18, 2017, 8:29 PM**

F that, they can rot in H E double hockey sticks (pun intended). Go DUCKS!!!
